The young man walked closer step by step, and just as Wei Sushen expected, he started talking about family matters.
After saying that, he sighed: "It's normal for the family to be dissatisfied with you."
Mo Xiu had been silent for over a decade. While the Mo family hadn't exactly been friendly to him, they had always provided him with the resources he deserved. And now, they'd benefited. It would have been fine if they'd been seeking personal gain, but they'd surprisingly chosen the academy first.
"I have a rough idea of what that tree is. The academy's reward is not even remotely comparable to it."
"What if we add a mentor?"
The boy was stunned.
Wei Sushen: "A sickly mentor."
It was originally a criticism, but the boy's eyes lit up when he heard it: "Teacher Mu?"
Wei Sushen: "Do you know him?"
"Of course." The young man's eyes showed a bit of admiration: "He is the only one who has successfully increased the level of a nightmare."
Normally, a succubus's level, like a person's talent, is essentially impossible to reverse. However, Kihara was an exception. He firmly believed that miracles could happen between life and death, and he led his succubus on frantic, deadly missions. Later, after narrowly escaping death, he actually managed to raise his succubus to a higher level.
"Then his body..."
"Because of excessive fighting, he was severely injured and has some hidden diseases." The young man said, "But despite looking a little weak, his fighting power is off the charts."
A flash of emotion crossed his face as the young man analyzed, "If you truly become his student, it could offset some of the family's dissatisfaction. Teacher Mu himself comes from an aristocratic family, so being able to befriend them would be a good thing."
Wei Sushen nodded, indicating that the topic could be ended.
The young man was not talkative and said directly: "I will go back in the next two days and help you explain it by the way."
Wei Sushen hesitated for a moment and said, "Remember to bring the letter of commendation with you."
"What?"
Wei Sushen pointed to the bulletin board in front of him: "Those are also my results."
“…”
The young man shook his head, brushed past him, and continued walking forward. Suddenly, a thought occurred to him, and he stopped. "Oh, right, I ran into Li Yue on my way here. She was complaining about someone who was dishonest."
Wei Sushen and Fang Shan exchanged a glance and walked towards the agreed place. From a distance, they saw a girl standing under a tree. Her hair was blown by the breeze from time to time, and her fair skin looked very innocent.
However, the girl, with a fiery figure and a long whip in hand, lashed out as they approached. Of course, she didn't strike Wei Sushen directly, but struck him only half a meter away. With a loud snap, dust billowed up, and a faint crack appeared on the ground.
Wei Sushen's expression remained unchanged: "Sorry, I'm late."
Li Yue put away the whip: "If I hadn't considered your status, this whip would have hit you in the face... Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
A more delicate face emerged from behind Wei Sushen's shoulder: "Didn't we agree on a beauty contest?"
Li Yue's mocking smile froze when she saw Fang Shan's face. In the past, she had been subtly targeted because of her beautiful appearance, and she always responded with a proud and disdainful attitude. However, after seeing a face that was more advanced than her own—
I really want to put cockroaches in his food.
I really want to frame him and make him the target of public criticism.
Fang Shan: "Senior, you have a strange expression."
Very good, a voice like the sound of nature. Li Yue's eyes flashed with murderous intent... I really want to kill him!
Fang Shan pinched Wei Sushen and said, "There's definitely something wrong with his brain."
Wei Sushen turned his face slightly: "I know."
Then she took away his hand that was pinching her waist.
Li Yue didn't know if she had heard their conversation, but her already stern face became even more serious: "Everyone has different views on beauty. It's meaningless to insist on it."
Fang Shan chuckled: "Senior sister, please don't be jealous of my good fortune."
Li Yue's forehead vein twitched faintly: "You can't tell whether your fate is good or not overnight."
Fang Shan: "But I heard that all those who liked me died young."
Li Yue was about to open her mouth to argue, but Fang Shan continued before her, "And without exception, they all died during missions."
Li Yue's expression suddenly changed. After a long while, he slowly said, "They are seeking their own death."
Fang Shan showed just the right amount of doubt.
Li Yue lifted her hair, showing another style: "My requirement for a future partner is at least an A-level dream demon. They are not qualified, but they want to learn from Teacher Mu and achieve a breakthrough in battle."
Fang Shan didn't hear any sympathy in these words.
Li Yue noticed his gaze and shrugged, saying, "Overestimating one's own abilities and working hard for love are two different things."
Wei Sushen suddenly asked, "Can we achieve our goal simply by fighting?"
Li Yue: "I heard that Teacher Mu's illness erupted during a battle with the Eagle Claw Colt. The Eagle Claw Colt's claws break and regrow with each season. The original mission was just to find its broken claws, but unfortunately someone wanted to take over in one fell swoop."
After that, she looked at him suspiciously: "Why are you asking about this?"
The waste who failed to awaken for several consecutive years summoned an S-level nightmare. This has spread in the academy. S-level is already the top quality. For Mo Xiu, the only way to increase his strength is to continue to improve his own telekinesis.
Wei Sushen: "I just think his death is a little strange."
Li Yue's eyes tightened.
Wei Sushen: "If it were just one or two people, I could understand it, but so many people are willing to use their lives as bargaining chips just for a possibility..."
Fang Shan continued his words: "Isn't that a bit too hasty?"
Li Yue was silent for a long time. "I don't know the details, but I met one of them before he left. He looked very confident."
Wei Sushen raised his eyebrows: "Really?"
Li Yue said coldly: "If you want to know more details, you should ask Teacher Mu."
After saying that, he turned around and left, not wanting to get entangled with the two of them anymore.
Fang Shan waved at her back and said, "Goodbye, beautiful lady who is slightly inferior to me."
Li Yue stopped for a moment, then quickened her pace, as if she wanted to leave them behind like shadows.
Until she was almost out of sight, Fang Shan said, "Actually, she's right. Maybe we can go meet your mentor again."
Wei Sushen nodded.
Walking towards the setting sun, the afterglow coloring the sky above. Fang Shan admired the beautiful scenery and suddenly talked about an unrelated topic: "Actually, I have always had a dream. After this mission is over, the host will be able to draw the next plane mission to become the emperor."
Wei Sushen: "The starting point is too high."
He prefers to start as a waste.
"It doesn't matter." Fang Shan said, "Then I will be the mother of the country, fighting with the concubines in the harem every day."
Wei Sushen's expression froze for a moment: "Do you like fighting so much?"
Fang Shan said seriously, "Fighting with others is endless fun."
“…”
As he was speaking, he had already left and returned.
Mu Yuan had just poured a glass of warm water when he looked up and saw two figures at the door, stretched out by the setting sun.
"Anything else?"
Wei Sushen: "Would you like to ask a few questions?"
Kihara responded coldly, "It's not class time now."
He walked over with the cup in hand and said, "Unless you give me a good reason, please leave now."
Wei Sushen gave up responding directly and turned his head to look at Fang Shan. The latter blinked and his eyes immediately turned anxious.
"The master has an ancestral jade pendant, which seems to have been lost here just now."
Mu Yuan's eyelids twitched, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was nonsense.
Fang Shan: "That jade pendant is very precious. Wearing it can increase your combat power."
Kihara's eyelids twitched again. It sounded as if he was embezzling students' things by not letting people in.
Fang Shan walked in before Wei Sushen and pretended to bend down to look for it.
Mu Yuan coughed softly a few times, drank some warm water to relieve the cough, and looked at Wei Sushen with a stern tone: "Haven't you ever thought about correcting your dream demon's values?"
Wei Sushen frowned: "He will probably need to look for a while, why don't we chat for a while?"
“…”
For the first time in his life, Kihara regretted a decision he had made. What had he thought of that made him accept such a student? He said in a tone that was almost a sigh, "What do you want to ask... How to improve your telekinesis or some techniques you'll need in combat? Time is limited, so I can only answer one."
Wei Sushen: "I want to talk about the students who died while trying to capture Eagle Claw Pony."
At this moment, Mu Yuan was not only coughing, but also had a headache. As expected, the new disciple and he had a conflicting horoscope.
Finally, a reminder: "The water is deep, don't step in."
Wei Sushen, on the other hand, showed his curiosity: "Humans are always attracted to things that can bring destruction."
Mu Yuan suddenly realized something, and his gaze moved around Fang Shan before refocusing on Wei Sushen: "No wonder you were able to summon successfully."
Fang Shan, who was lowering his head, smiled sinisterly: "You are right."
Now it was Wei Sushen's turn to rub his eyebrows.
Kihara didn't like beating around the bush. Seeing what he was thinking, he sat back on his stool. "The death rate is higher than in previous years. The academy has already conducted a private investigation. There's no need for you to get involved."
Wei Sushen said calmly, not optimistically, "Since they dared to take action, they must be certain they can't find out."
Kihara frowned. The investigation was indeed not going smoothly.
Wei Sushen lowered his eyes: "I do have a way, maybe I can lure out this spy."
Mu Yuan raised his eyebrows and listened to him continue.
"Fishing." Wei Sushen said, "I'll be the bait."
Mu Yuan tapped his fingers on the cup twice. "Please be more specific."
Wei Sushen: "Privately spread the news that you are going to take me on the mission personally."
Hunting Eagle Claw Pony is currently very difficult, and taking it alone is likely to arouse suspicion.
Mu Yuan scoffed and looked away: "That's too fake. I've never taken students on a mission before."
Wei Sushen: "The message said that the teacher wants to raise my nightmare level to S level or above."
The smile on Kihara's face widened. "It's getting more and more outrageous."
Wei Sushen said calmly: "But will anyone take it seriously?"
In just a few seconds, Mu Yuan's fingers tightly grasped the cup handle, and then quickly loosened it, a gleam in his eyes: "I have to say, your proposal has aroused my interest."
There were signs that the deal was about to be settled. Wei Sushen relaxed slightly and unexpectedly saw Fang Shan's back trembling. It was a trembling of excitement, and he suddenly felt an endless sense of uneasiness in his heart.
——It seems like something big is about to happen.
